[Python-apps-team] Bug#961277: Please do not depends on dbus-x11 without alternative

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: terminator
Version: 1.92-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

dbus-x11 has been added about a year ago to the dependencies (see bug
#918149) without an alternative.

This is not OK as dbus-x11 is only needed in case there is not an
already existing dbus user bus running.

The proper dependency should be something like: "default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus"
instead, default-dbus-session-bussee this mail from 2016: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/08/msg00554.html

Please switch to the recommended dependency.

Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
